About the adventure
A conversion of 'Waterdeep: Dragon Heist' in the pulp noir setting of Eberron! "Where there's crime, there's collateral." -- Popular saying among the Boromar Clan Sharn. The City of Towers. The City of a Thousand Eyes. The City of Blades. The Gateway to Perdition. Somewhere in this enormous city, among the twisted towers and labyrinthine alleyways, in the deepest ruins of civilisations past, lurks a magical relic of immense power and potential. The largest and most ruthless syndicates in Khorvaire converge on Sharn, seeking this artefact for their own nefarious schemes. And, unfortunately, you just happened to be caught in the middle. Can you survive in this city of crime, magic, intrigue and deceit? Better yet - can you make some gold out of it? This game uses the the Play-by-Post format. Play-by-Post has been around for almost as long as D&D has, and is best suited to those of us who just do not have the time to play a full session every week. With Play-by-Post, you play to your schedule in a relaxed, fun and safe online environment.

About me
Hi! I'm Dave, an actor and avid D&D player from Bonnie Scotland. I've been playing 5e for 5 years now, and while I've grown very fond of the system, I've dipped my toe in other games such as Call of Cthulhu, Daggerheart and Kids on Bikes! I generally focus on narrative over mechanical crunch, but my top priority at any table is the enjoyment and engagement of the players. The story can't be told without you or the dice - are you ready to begin your next chapter?
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Ask yourself this - "Why do you need 200 gold pieces, fast?" - We will be using D&DBeyond to create characters, including options from the newly released "Forge of the Artificer". - Stats will be generated with point buy. - Characters will have 1 Common Magic Item at the start of their journey.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: 1. a Discord account, 2. a D&DBeyond account (free), and 3. an Owlbear Rodeo account (free). OPTIONAL: You may wish to read Chapters 1-3 of "Eberron: Rising from the Last War" to get a better idea of the setting. I have access to a digital copy that will be shared with players.
What Dave brings to the table
I will be using Discord as the forum for our game (text only, so no need for a camera or microphone!) I will also be using Owlbear Rodeo for battle maps, and D&DBeyond for characters. I love roleplaying and combat, though I generally favour the former. With me, there is almost always a noncombative option, and I invite my players to try anything they like to avoid unnecessary fighting. That is, if they *want* to avoid fighting... My favourite part in any game begins when a player throws caution to the wind and says, "I want to try something crazy," because you know you're in for a treat! I embrace the Rule of Cool whenever possible, especially in character-driven moments, to encourage players to push the boat out and give it a shot. Just hope that the dice are in your favour too! I aim to post 2-3 times per day to advance the story, while also being around to answer any queries players may have. Play-by-post is a much slower format than face-to-face games, and I want to remedy this as best I can.
Homebrew rules
- Healing potions can be drunk as an action or bonus action. - "I Know a Guy..." turns improvised NPCs into lifelong allies, deadly adversaries, or anything in between.

How Dave creates a safe table
I will be providing a RPG Safety Tools checklist of themes for players to fill out anonymously. As your Dungeon Master, it is my duty and responsibility to ensure everyone has the best time possible in a safe environment. Communication and trust are key - if there is anything that is making you uncomfortable in the game, I will do my best to fix and resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
